During the Middle Ages, it was frequently used to torture and execute criminals, captured soldiers and witches.In one version of the Flaying Torture, the victim's arms were tied to a pole above his head while his feet were tied below. His body was now completely exposed and the torturer, with the help of a small knife, peeled off the victim's skin slowly. In most cases, the torturer peeled off his facial skin first, slowly working his way down to the victim's feet. Most victims died before the torturer even reached their waist.In another version, the victim was exposed to the Sun until his skin reddened. This was followed by the torturer peeling off his flesh with the same method described above.In yet another version, the victim was submerged into boiling water and was taken out after a few minutes. He was slowly flayed.Some cultures believed that human skin contained magical properties. Others used human parts, such as scalps, to show social status.Lead Sprinkler<img src="http://www.medievality.com/images/torture/lead-sprinkler.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />At first sight, it looks like a holy water sprinkler, but in reality it's a bit more complex. The torturer poured molten metals in one end and its contents slowly rushed to the other side where they fell on any part of the victim's body. Many executions occurred with this instrument.A common way to execute a victim was by pouring molten silver on his eyes. This caused a great deal of pain and eventually provoked death.Knee Splitter<img src="http://www.medievality.com/images/torture/knee-splitter.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The knee splitter, a terrible torture, was mostly used during the Inquisition. What this instrument accomplished was to permanently render the knees useless.Even though the name implies that this instrument was only used for "splitting" knees, it was also used in other body parts including: the elbows, arms and even the lower legs.As the torturer turned the handle, the claws slowly slammed against each other mutilating any skin in between. The number of spikes the knee splitter contained varied from three to more than twenty.There were many variants to this instrument. Some claws were heated beforehand to maximize pain - others had dozens of small claws that penetrated the flesh slowly and painfully.Even though this method very seldom provoked direct death, it was often followed by other more painful methods if the victim refused to cooperate.</blockquote>
